So what and who cares sums up my opinion of this piece of tedium.
If one is going to expend so much time, effort and money making a movie, at least make it accessible to the educated movie watcher. This movie is the equivalent of counting peas from one bowl to another whilst awaiting the inevitable. One starts watching with anticipation only to have that transform into bored indifference. What's going to happen? Well - nothing really. Around half time, the watcher sinks into a stupor, barely having the energy to fast forward in the hopes that SOMETHING of significance will happen. Timothy Spall has the emotional range of a Toby Jug. And how anyone, anyone, could fancy him is stretching incredulity into the Marvel Universe reality. Such a permanantly lugubrious expression is no turn on for anyone - even the partially sighted.
Benidorm features as a hell on earth for anyone over the age of sixteen, including its plethora of featureless high-rises.
As for going on about Sylvia Plath in a bikini being there! Wow! So what? Who cares? Big deal? Who is she again? A month long honeymoon with Ted Hughes. And the relevance is?
I think watching Timothy spending the same amount of time at the bank would have been more exciting.
An indulgent film suitable for the maker and immediate family.
Cut your toe nails instead.
